Although Huang Liji still had a lot of doubts about Chongzhen's proposition, compared to the other two options, he hoped that the emperor's plan could be successfully achieved at the moment.

Since Chongzhen planned to hand over this difficult task to Tian Hongyu, Huang Liji, who didn't want to get himself into it, only learned a little from the emperor about the definite part of the negotiation, and then stopped.

After Huang Liji left, Zhu Youzhen ordered to return to the study of the Qianqing Palace. However, when he walked halfway through, he suddenly remembered something, so he stopped and dismissed a few eunuchs and attendants on the side, and then turned to Wang Chengen and said: "What Commander Tian said just now, Zhou Guozhang's words slandering him, are they true?" ”

Wang Chengen only thought about it for a very short time, and then honestly reported to the emperor: "Her Royal Highness Concubine Li gave birth to the prince first, and Her Royal Highness the Queen only gave birth to a princess.

These rumors spread to Zhou Guozhang, and he was impulsive, but he couldn't help but be a little unscrupulous, and this thing is indeed there. But to say that Zhou Guozhang is completely slanderous, the minister also disagrees, after all, Commander Tian is still suspected of being under the melon field, and without Commander Tian's big celebration, it is impossible to produce so many rumors. ”

Zhu Youzhen glanced at Wang Chengen, and couldn't help criticizing: "What you said is really fifty boards each, and I don't know how to deal with this matter." ”

When the emperor was complaining in a whisper, Wang Chengen lowered his head and looked at the white marble ground on the ground, as if he hadn't heard anything.

His actions proved to the emperor that he had no intention of taking sides between the Zhou and Tian families. Seeing him like this, Zhu Youzhen couldn't embarrass him anymore, and he really didn't want Wang Chengen to stand in line between the two families.

Zhu Youzhen, who has a soul of later generations, does not have much preference for his daughter and son, and he has not considered the issue of the heir to the throne now, so he did not pay much attention to Tian Hongyu's complaints.

However, now seeing the people around him look like they are facing a great enemy, Zhu You realized that what he considered a small problem was a big event that could not be ambiguous in the eyes of people in this era.

In this way, Zhu Youzhen, who originally wanted to send a palace eunuch to reprimand Zhou Kui and ask him to restrain his behavior, now he didn't dare to do it so rashly.

After all, in the eyes of some smart people, he sent someone to reprimand the queen's father, which may be seen as a political signal that he wants to support the Tian family and make Concubine Tian the crown prince. These smart people may not be very good at doing things, but their ability to stab Lou Zi has always been not low.

Zhu Youzhen didn't want to give these people a chance to shake the status of the queen by attacking Zhou Kui, and finally make a scene in his harem. He also didn't want to give other frustrated people a chance to hold up the banner of maintaining the status of the empress and set off another party struggle in the court.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhu Youzhen opened his mouth and instructed Wang Chengen: "Disclose what happened in the Lord Jinggong Hall today to the queen in your name in private, and leave her own affairs to her to solve." ”

Wang Chengen's eyes wandered for a moment, but soon returned to normal, and replied respectfully: "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

Zhu Youzhen got up and walked to the door of the hall, and stood silently for a long time facing the somewhat white ground outside that was illuminated by the sun. I don't know how much time passed, he seemed to remember something and asked: "Is there any new news about the Nanjing scientific expedition case?" Has Wen Wenqi accepted the appointment of the imperial court..."

Just when Zhu Youzhen suddenly remembered Wen Zhenmeng, in a small Xuan "Qingyaoyu" built by water in the "medicine garden" of Suzhou Wenzhai, three men in Confucian clothes were sitting around a square table, drinking tea and talking.

The three men are Wen Zhenmeng, Yao Ximeng's two uncles and nephews, and Chen Renxi, the teacher of Empress Zhou. Yao Ximeng carefully sipped the hot tea in the teacup in his hand while listening with his ears pricked up, and Chen Renxi persuaded Wen Zhenmeng to accept the imperial court appointment.

He grew up with Wen Zhenmeng, although he is an uncle and nephew in name, but emotionally he is like a brother, Wen Zhenmeng treats him as a nephew, but he is a little closer than his younger brother.

It was because when Wen Zhenmeng angered the emperor and was driven out of the capital, Yao Ximeng has been seeking Wen Zhenmeng's recovery. In his opinion, it is nothing to lose his official position, but being reprimanded by the emperor as a hypocrite with different hearts and mouths really hurts his uncle's face.

Therefore, he quietly asked Chen Renxi, walked to the door of the queen in the palace, and finally opened up the joint for Wen Zhenmeng's recovery. Yao Ximeng knew very well in his heart that it was impossible to make the emperor admit his mistake. However, being able to get the emperor to agree to his uncle's recovery can be regarded as washing away a lot of stigma on his uncle's head.

Huang Liji chose him to come to convey the edict of his uncle, and asked him and his uncle to assist Zhou Yanru in the aftermath of the Nanjing scientific expedition, although he knew that this was a political exchange, Yao Ximeng still gritted his teeth and agreed. Compared with the future of these talented people in the Fushe Society, he attaches more importance to clearing the stigma of his uncle.

However, what he didn't expect was that he rushed to Suzhou without stopping along the way, and when he handed over the edict of revival to his uncle, Wen Zhenmeng actually refused to accept it. The reason is that he cannot be dismissed without knowing and then reinstated without knowing it.

Seeing that his uncle was naïve and stubborn and had to ask the emperor for an explanation before he was willing to accept the meaning of the edict, Yao Ximeng was also a little crying and laughing. The soft grinding and hard bubble could not let his uncle accept the edict, so he had no choice but to invite Chen Renxi to be this lobbyist.

Although Chen Renxi himself no longer wants to return to his career, he wants to stay in his hometown and be a rich idler, admiring the red dust of the market in his hometown of Suzhou, and enjoying the soft words and warm fragrance of Jiangnan women.

However, he still understands in his heart that if he wants to maintain his family's rich life, he can't have no friends in this officialdom. Although he had a good relationship with the queen of the dynasty by chance, he also knew that this relationship could not be used much, and it could only be maintained until his death.

His sons are not the seeds of study, and after his death, the best choice to shelter his family is naturally the famous Wenzhen Meng family in Suzhou, so he cheekily went to ask the queen for a favor.

Chen Renxi spent such a big price to get the resumption order, so naturally he couldn't let Wen Zhenmeng just go down the drain, so at Yao Ximeng's request, he hurriedly came over to persuade him.

“… After ascending the throne today, although he failed to sweep away the treacherous evil in the court, his heart of hard work was better than that of the previous emperor.

Mr. Shonan should have also heard that after the Jin detour invaded the Guannai last year, thanks to the blessing of the Holy Son of Heaven, he was able to make the Tartars retreat, which shows that he is really the lord of the Yingrui today.

But after all, Your Majesty is young, although he is full of vigor, but if he lacks the guidance of righteous people around him, it is inevitable that he will not be led to evil ways by villains. For example, King Xuan of Qi, pro-virtuous ministers and prospered the Qi country, and died near the villain.

Who are the people surrounding His Majesty now? Huang Zhongwu, Shi Fenglai, Cui Chengxiu, Feng Quan, Wu Chunfu, Li Kuilong, are probably the villains who attached Wei Zhongxian back then, if His Majesty is influenced by these villains all the year round, how long can he maintain his original heart?

In the Eastern Jin Dynasty in the past, everyone in the world said: An Shi is not out, and Na Cangsheng is born. Today, I also want to ask the last question, if Xiangnan does not come out, what is Nai Cangsheng. ”

Under Chen Renxi's coaxing and praise, Wen Zhenmeng's face finally had a little smile, but he still said: "Mingqing said too much, how can I compare with Xie Dongshan." Besides, isn't there still Mr. Qishan, a righteous man in the world who has been praised by His Majesty, in the court, why do I need to go out and suffer from it. ”

Chen Renxi glanced at Yao Ximeng, and Yao Ximeng suddenly said knowingly: "Uncle, this is Mr. Qidong, although this gentleman is a moral gentleman, he doesn't have much to think about supporting the dynasty.

He was bent on hiding in the official school to do his own learning, and talked about what he talked about all day long: conscience is not separated from hearing and seeing, and seeking the Tao does not precede seeking the heart. When he talked about prudence and independence to His Majesty, His Majesty said that he was right, saying that those corrupt officials just failed to be cautious and independent, resulting in excessive greed, so they could not have a conscience, so the Central Government Academy should educate them well, and Mr. Qidong immediately became speechless.

Among the righteous people in the court, which one is not right, Mr. Qidong is greatly disappointed. Before I left Beijing, He Wusu and Xu Yuqing instructed me to ask my uncle to accept this edict, so as to add strength to the righteous path of the imperial court, so as not to become more and more powerful in the traitorous party between the DPRK and China..."

Wen Zhenmeng's heart was finally shaken, and he said with some hesitation: "Han Xiangyun and Qian Muzhai, can they just let the situation between the DPRK and China go on like this?" ”

Yao Ximeng immediately replied hurriedly: "Han Xiangyun has always been weak, and Qian Muzhai has built a new Donglin Party to divide the trend of my righteous path, and neither of them has taken the responsibility of persuading His Majesty." ”

Seeing that Wen Zhenmeng was still hesitating, Chen Renxi, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help but say with a hot iron: "We also know that Brother Xiangnan has a noble character and does not want to be in the same dynasty as the villain." However, this time is different from the past, and the traitorous parties in the DPRK and China are arrogant.

Compared with the current Kenanxiang test, some of the unsuccessful talents were drunk and immoral, and gathered their classmates to surround the Gongyuan, originally to suspect that the professors of Jinling University were suspected of fraud.

As a result, the imperial court sent personnel to investigate, but the sons of the Fushe were implicated. The members of this Fu Society are the essence of my Jiangnan scholars, and they are all in one place, this is the remnants of the eunuch party who want to retaliate against my Jiangnan scholars.

Wen Changqing has a lot to do with the Zhejiang Party, and I don't believe it if he wants to say that he is not tired of handling the case this time. At this moment, only Brother Xiangnan can come forward to solve this crisis, otherwise I, Jiangnan Shilin, will really be wailing all over the field this time. ”

Although the Fushe claimed to inherit Donglin's legacy, Wen Zhenmeng couldn't get used to the publicity of this group of young scholars. In his opinion, Donglin has not died yet, so how can he inherit it. However, in the current situation, he can't help but react to Chen Renxi's words, after all, behind this group of young people, there are almost half of the Jiangnan gentry class.

Wen Zhenmeng himself can be self-exalted, but the Suzhou Wen family can't isolate themselves from the Jiangnan gentry, he finally nodded and said: "Okay, for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, I will go to Nanjing for a trip..."
